Enblend supports builds outside the source directory which will keep your source directory "clean". So <tt>cd</tt> into the source directory, create a build directory and <tt>cd</tt> into that directory. <br>We also need to create a makefile for our system when we download from the development repository. We do need to do that in the source directory.

Build Environment

Download and install the XCode Tools version for the operating system on the machine that you will use for the building job.

Install either Fink or MacPorts. Select the one you prefer most.

Fink: Install Fink for your environment and configure Fink to use the unstable repositories. See the Fink FAQ for information about the unstable packages and Fink Downloads for a package installer or source code for Fink (depending on your OS).

MacPorts: If you don't have it already, install MacPorts, which provides the port command, from MacPorts, giving you compilable package access to thousands of pieces of open source software. If you already have macports (formerly darwinports) installed, update it:

$ sudo port selfupdate

Make sure you have synced the latest port files:

$ sudo port -d sync

Building and installing Enblend/Enfuse

Both Fink and MacPorts provide access to an earlier build of Enblend3 - however, these are really outdated versions. The following instructions are geared towards those who want to install the latest version of Enblend and Enfuse. The instructions are split into two sections: 1) satisfying prerequisites, which must only be done once; and 2) building the latest Enblend/Enfuse source, which may be done as often as you'd like.

These instructions have been tested on OSX 10.4 and 10.5 on both x86 and PPC systems:

Building Enblend/Enfuse from the Latest Source
